    This is one coin where the design doesn't matter much to me, it's the history of the coin. Like the continental dollar. To have one is to have living history.

    I agree with NWCS....the history of that coin says more than just about anything.
    As long as it was legible and not brillopad-cleaned, and I had the disposable income for one, I would love one.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I wish that I had started collecting them 40 years ago. I love this coin. Not all that Pricey for what they are, but well out of my range.

    Exquisite coin. Too bad I wasn't around in 1890. There would have been a bidding war for that puppy. image

    That must be the MS-63 coin listed in the census. (The census only lists two Mint State S-3's, a 63 and a 60. And the census only lists 6 total Mint State chain cents not 7.

    According to the Inflation Calculator,101$ back then would be equal to $1942.08 now.

    Who would give up every coin in their collection to own this coin?

    I certainly would!

    I don't think so. Any guesses on the hammer price?

    Imagine, that was worth 1 cent in 1793. It might buy a loaf of bread.

    I have no guess on hammer Price, Maybe 6oo,ooo plus


    By the way......

    This group had a hard time selling the no motto 1870 dollar last time around, does anyone know why?

    I was wrong, got a little more info on the pedigree of the coin. This is the MS-60 example in the census.
